[quote]Ratman, you might want to look at local laws regarding rear running lights colors.  Those lights have amber lenses on them, and here in Indiana, and many states as well, it's illegal to have amber running lights on the rear.  The quick fix is to swap out the amber lenses for red ones, which are legal.  Ebay is your friend on this![/quote]

When I first started thinking of this I decided to check into this question. First off went and looked at a lot of new bikes and noticed that if they had amber signal light lens they had big huge rear tail lights. I could not see any that were the way I was looking so went to the next level, went to the three shops in town that actually do safety checks and inspections prior to plates being issued to a bike, I explained slowly what I was planning on doing and what lens covers are required, ok. 
Then I went to the local police station and asked to speak with anyone familiar with motorcycle and traffic issues, well the 2 officers I talked to could not have lit a 1157 bulb on a good day, never got a firm answer.
So then I went to the OPP station, (like your State Troopers).....again asked for someone versed in the laws of motorcycle laws.....he said it was not a real law anyplace. Ok thanks for your time. and left....
So anyway I am going to go with my own thoughts here and replace the amber with red, because the extra red will be more visible, and really good in bad weather. When the signal lights flash it will be even more visible and eye catching then amber.

Thanks for the concern.

WHAT? What did I do?

I mean, other then saving you from a possible citation and maybe impoundment of your fine red scoot?

Or maybe it was that I stated that I was looking forward to your fine pictorial how-to's on all of your winter going's on in your living room?

This post needed more pics!!!! So here we go. I bought these a few weeks ago put then on last night. I love the throttle boss on the end pf the throttle grip very relaxing. Will post picsof them on the bike at lunch

I have those on my bike and I love them. I bought a second throttle boss for the other side as I like symmetry. I've had them for years and they're quite comfortable.

Also, I agree that this thread needs more pics, so until Ratman does his pictorial breakdown of all his mods, I'll show off my throttle bosses.

Best way i have ever found to do that is to get a hot raunchy blonde that hates the cold an keep her warm in bed all winter. Though this only ever actually worked out successfully for me 2 out of 30 winters soo your results may very slightly lol

Surprises are not fun always, this topic had been talked about at sometime, and I had this idea by just buying a couple of 1157 bulbs and the plug ins from an auto supply store, but then when I came into the parts and the front signal lights were in there I decided this was an easy way to do it, and yes the blots are different lengths so I am going to swap out the parts, then I'll have 2 sets of rear signal lights for sale if anyone needs them......lol......

Thanks for looking out for me Troll.......nice someone is.....

yes well aware of that, and have it planned out how I am going to wire the third wire into the harness.

When you remove the taillight assy, you will discover that the rear turn signals have a special 2 wire plug that connects to the harness, and the front ones use 3 bullet connectors......
